Who is Tweedle Dum?

A Gotham City villain operating in the orbit of Batman's rogues' gallery, this Tweedle Dum is associated with the Alice in Wonderland-themed criminals including Tweedle Dee and the Mad Hatter, Jervis Tetch — placing them among Gotham's more eccentric underworld figures.

Debuting in the pages of Grant Morrison and Chas Truog's Animal Man in 1990, Tweedle Dum is a DC Comics curiosity who has quietly persisted across more than three decades of the publisher's history. This Copper/Modern Age character keeps remarkably distinguished company — sharing pages with Batman, Jervis Tetch, and the Tweed twins Deever and Dumfree, as well as the similarly named Tweedle Dee — placing them squarely within Gotham's wonderfully eccentric rogues' gallery. With appearances across flagship titles like Batman and Grant Morrison's celebrated Animal Man, Tweedle Dum may clock in at a modest eight catalog appearances, but every one of them lands in consequential, well-remembered comics worth hunting down.
